Saliva is secreted by salivary gland located under the tongue which helps in the digestion of food and it contains water, salts, mucin and some enzymes salivary amylase or ptyalin. PH is neutral i.e, 6.7. about 1.5 litres saliva and mucus are secreted in every 24 hours in the buccal cavity. Salivation activation depends on the smell, idea and imagination of food.

Fats are the triglycerides and they are digested through the lipases. Digestion process starts in stomach and finally gets completed in the small intestine through various agents, juices etc. small intestine is the place where the fats digestion takes place, and the digestion of fats gives the fatty acids and the glycerol as their end products.
Small intestine:- In this food is in the form of fat digested by the three secretions; Bile, pancreatic juice and the intestinal juice.
Bile:- bile is secreted by the liver, has no enzymes and no catalytic reactions. Salts are present which reduces the surface tension of the large fat droplets and they break them into the smaller ones and this process is known as emulsification. It produces a fine emulsion of fats in the intestine. Triglycerides get converted into the emulsified triglycerides by the action of the Bile salts.
Pancreatic juice:- it contains fat- digesting enzymes which hydrolysis fats. It converts triglycerides into the diglycerides, then the diglycerides broken down into the monoglyceride and the fatty acids and they finally get converted into the another 3 fatty acid molecules and the glycerol.
Intestinal juice:- intestinal glands secrete the intestinal juice or intestinal lipase. Only a small amount of enzymes are released into the intestinal juice. This intestinal lipase helps in the hydrolysis of the absorbed Triglycerides, Diglycerides to monoglycerides and fatty acids.

a) Transport of water
Xylem is a complex tissue composed of living and non-living cells. The conducting cells are mostly non- living and includes two types of tracheary elements- tracheids and vessel elements. Water and minerals from the soil enter into the plant through the root and then through root cortex and finally get passed into the xylem, moves upward into the leaves. The upward movement of the water and the minerals from roots to the aerial parts of the plant against the gravitational force through the xylem is known as ascent of the sap.
